Sorry, Cat, but it just goes against my sweet and reasonable nature to say
owt which in anyway denigrates those of youse who comprise the fair sex.  I
admit to the existence of the word, but am loathe to use it -- as me dear
sweet mum (who was non-Roma, BTW) would come back to haunt me should I do
so.  So in that area I shall stick to terms of endearment like goodlipe,
kuzuy, dehiba, et piryamloo (as well as honey and poopsie) whilst addressing
(or in reference to) them/you.  Call me chauvinist if thou wouldst, but it's
the way I was raised and I'm too bloody eld to change now.

Hey, o rom o baro, just because Romanes is an unknown language in gadjo
surroundings, that's no reason to be discriminatory - you forgot to
mention "gadja" !
